Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2018OCTS_03

Recently there has been great success at Parkes discovering millisecond pulsars (MSPs), a class that includes some of the most interesting and scientifically valuable pulsars known. In the last few years, we have discovered more than 40 MSPs though the High Time Resolution Universe Survey (P630) and Fermi searches (P675/P814). Here we propose to carry out precision timing of these sources to fully exploit these discoveries. Additionally, we continue to study the most significant of the discoveries from the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey (P268). \r\nTo maximise scientific impact, we have combined the most important sources from various previous proposals into this project, reducing total observation time required and easing the burden on the scheduler.

近期，帕克斯（Parkes）在毫秒脉冲星（millisecond pulsars, MSPs）的发现上取得了显著成果——该类脉冲星包含了已知最具科学价值与研究意义的脉冲星类群。过去数年间，我们通过高时间分辨率宇宙巡天（High Time Resolution Universe Survey, P630）以及费米（Fermi）搜寻项目（P675/P814），已发现超过40颗毫秒脉冲星。本研究计划对这批源开展高精度计时观测，以充分挖掘此次发现的科学潜力。此外，我们还将持续对帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天（Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey, P268）中极具科学重要性的发现源展开研究。
为最大化项目的科学影响力，我们将此前多项提案中的核心研究源整合至本项目中，以此缩减总观测时长并缓解观测调度的压力。
